# Model description

An XLM-RoBERTa Large reading comprehension model trained from the combination of TyDi and NQ datasets, starting from a fine-tuned [Tydi xlm-roberta-large](https://huggingface.co/PrimeQA/tydiqa-primary-task-xlm-roberta-large) model.

## Intended uses & limitations

You can use the raw model for the reading comprehension task. Biases associated with the pre-existing language model, xlm-roberta-large, that we used may be present in our fine-tuned model.

## Usage

You can use this model directly with the [PrimeQA](https://github.com/primeqa/primeqa) pipeline for reading comprehension [squad.ipynb](https://github.com/primeqa/primeqa/blob/main/notebooks/mrc/squad.ipynb).
